Objective To observe the clinical features of atrial fibrillation (AF) patients, and to explore the correlation between the routine detection index and the new-onset AF and to find out risk factors for new AF in critically ill patients. Methods A prospective observational study was conducted. The patients with AF admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) of the Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University from March 2016 to June 2017 were enrolled. The patients were divided into new-onset AF group and past-existed AF group according to their past history of AF (including persistent AF, paroxysmal AF or permanent AF). In addition, patients in ICU without history of AF and new-onset AF were selected as the control group (no AF group). The general epidemiological characteristics of patients in three groups, and the blood biochemical, coagulation and other related indicators at the time of AF occurred (new-onset AF group) or 48 hours after ICU admission (AF group and no AF group) were analyzed; the difference of laboratory indexes between patients in new-onset AF group with AF within 48 hours before occurred and patients in no AF group within 48 hours after admission to ICU was compared. The relationship between each index and new-onset AF were analyzed. Pearson or Spearman rank correlation was used for analysis. Risk factors of new-onset AF were analyzed by Logistic regression analysis. Results 1 673 patients were admitted to ICU, including 179 cases of AF (10.70%), and 106 males and 73 females, with an average age of (71.73±23.22) years. There was 75 new-onset AF (morbidity 4.48%), and had a 28-day mortality of 45.33% (34/75). There were differences in age, previous heart disease and heart failure (HF) among new-onset AF group (n = 75), past-existed AF group (n = 104) and no AF group (n = 75). Compared with other two groups, renal insufficiency rates, troponin, serum sodium, calcium and procalcitonin levels were higher, mechanical ventilation time and the length of ICU stay were significantly prolonged, ICU and hospitalization costs were higher in new-onset AF group. Compared with no AF group, new-onset AF patients with the higher percentage of septic shock, the accumulation of vascular contraction drugs within 24 hours after AF usage were higher, and used more anti-arrhythmic drugs, has higher brain natriuretic peptide (pro-BNP), serum creatinine, blood lactic acid levels, and lower albumin, oxygenation index, and serum potassium levels, sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ(APACHE Ⅱ) score and 28-day mortality were higher. Correlation analysis showed that age, APACHE Ⅱ score, septic shock, HF, cardiovascular disease, renal insufficiency were positively correlated with new-onset AF (r values were 0.393, 0.270, 0.386, 0.251, 0.194, 0.170;P values were 0.000, 0.001, 0.000, 0.002, 0.017, 0.037, respectively). The age [odds ratio (OR) = 0.962, P = 0.046], basic oxygenation index (OR = 1.005, P = 0.028) and serum potassium levels (OR = 1.638, P = 0.022) were the risk factors for new-onset AF. Conclusions Critical patients with a high incidence of AF, new-onset AF significantly prolong the length of ICU stay; age, APACHE Ⅱ score, septic shock, cardiovascular disease, and renal insufficiency are related to new-onset AF; age, basic oxygenation index and serum potassium levels are risk factors for new-onset AF.

To develop a method based on immunoreactions for detection of Ectropis obliqua Nucleopolyhedrovirus (EoNPV), the polyhedra of the virus were purified and used to immunize the mouse BALB/c. The spleen cells from the immunized mice were then fused with the myeloma cell line Sp2/0. A hybridoma cell line which can stably secrete the monoclonal antibody against EoNPV was achieved by using indirect ELISA screening and cloning methods, and was named as 7D3. Meanwhile, the polyhedrin gene was cloned from EoNPV and expressed in E. coli. Western blotting analysis showed that the monoclonal antibody prepared from 7D3 could specifically react with the recombinant polyhedrin. An indirect ELISA method based on this monoclonal antibody for detecting EoNPV in infected tea looper was developed.

Estrogen has anti-colorectal cancer effects which are thought to be mediated by mismatch repair gene (MMR) activity. Estrogen receptor (ER) expression is associated with microRNA (miRNA) expression in ER-positive tumors. However, studies of direct link between estrogen (especially estradiol E2), miRNA expression, and MMR in colorectal cancer (CRC) have not been done. In this study, we first evaluated the effects of estradiol (E2) and its antagonist ICI182,780 on the expression of miRNAs (miR-31, miR-155 and miR-135b) using COLO205, SW480 and MCF-7 cell lines, followed by examining the association of tissue miRNA expression and serum E2 levels using samples collected from 18 colorectal cancer patients. E2 inhibited the expressions of miRNAs in COLO205 cells, which could be reversed by E2 antagonist ICI 182.780. The expression of miR-135b was inversely correlated with serum E2 level and ER-beta mRNA expression in CRC patients' cancer tissues. There were significant correlations between serum E2 level and expression of ER-beta, miR-135b, and MMR in colon cancer tissue. This study suggests that the effects of estrogen on MMR function may be related to regulating miRNA expression via ER-beta, which may be the basis for the anti-cancer effect in colorectal cells.

The lung is a major target organ in acute paraquat (PQ) poisoning, but early PQ-induced severe liver failure is also an important life-threatening situation that can't be neglected. At present, toxin elimination through blood purification is a routine effective therapy recommended at the initial stage of PQ poisoning. However, the mode, therapeutic course and efficacy of blood purification for treatment of liver failure induced by PQ intoxication are still further to be explored. Theoretically, PQ is a substance with small molecule soluble in water, so hemofiltration (HF) is more suitable to be applied for treatment of PQ poisoning, but since PQ itself elimination rate (170 mL/min) from the kidney is far greater than the extracorporeal elimination rate of HF, it is suggested that HF be used only in cases with kidney functional injury caused by PQ poisoning. After PQ intoxication, a great amount of inflammatory mediators are produced; under this circumstance, if continuous veno-venous hemo-filtration (CVVH) is applied, its convection and dispersion features can remove the inflammatory mediators and toxin. Using hemoperfusion (HP) combined with CVVH not only can reduce the concentration of PQ but also can decrease plasma cytokine levels and ameliorate the organ damages. Thus, in cases with hepatic and renal functional damage, the application of combination of HP and CVVH is more effective for the treatment. Bilirubin adsorption can not only reduce bilirubin, but also can decrease PQ concentration, and it is also a means to treat PQ poisoning. In this article, the experience of using CVVH combined with HP, plasma separation and bilirubin adsorption for treatment of 1 case with liver failure induced by PQ poisoning was reported.

Carbon dioxide (CO 2) ejection syndrome is common after artificial pneumoperitoneum, and it often attracts the attention of anesthesiologists because of its rapid changes in vital signs. CO 2 ejection syndrome is not uncommon in critically ill patients, and may occur after mechanical ventilation in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). There are few relevant reports about CO 2 ejection syndrome, and a considerable number of clinicians have little understanding of the pathological changes. A case of AECOPD patient with CO 2 ejection syndrome after endotracheal intubation was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of the Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University. After treatment, such as fluid expansion, vasoactive drugs and ventilator assistance, the patient's condition improved and was transferred out of the ICU. It is expected to provide some references by summarizing the diagnosis and treatment of this case and reviewing relevant literature reports.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of prophylactic octreotide administration on pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD)associated postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF), total complications, peri-operative death and postoperative in-hospital days.Methods:From January 2020 to August 2021, 148 patients who underwent PD in the Department of Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery in Ren Ji Hospital affiliated with School of Medicine of Shanghai Jiao Tong University were recruited into this single-center randomized control double-blinded clinical trial. Patients were randomly assigned into octreotide group ( n=74) and control group ( n=74). Octreotide group was subcutaneously injected with 0.1 mg (1 ml) octreotide after preoperative anesthesia, and was subcutaneously injected with the same dose every 8 hours for 5 days, with a total of 16 doses. Control group was injected with 1 ml normal saline in the same way, and relevant clinical data and indicators of the two groups were recorded. The primary endpoint was clinically relevant pancreatic fistula, and the secondary endpoints were total complications, perioperative death and postoperative in-hospital days. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to screen the risk factors of clinically related POPF after PD. Results:120 patients were finally enrolled, including 61 in octreotide group and 59 in control group. There were no significant differences on age, gender ratio, body mass index, preoperative surgery rate of jaundice reduction, preoperative major biochemical indicators, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, pancreatic duct diameter, pancreatic texture and pathological type composition ratio. The total incidence of clinical relevant POPF was 8.3%, and there were no significant differences on biochemical leakage (4.9% vs 8.5%, P=0.435), grade B fistula (4.9% vs 8.5%, P=0.435) and grade C fistula (1.6% vs 1.7%, P=0.981). The total complication incidence (24.5% vs 28.8%, P=0.601), perioperative mortality (0 vs 3.3%, P=0.147) and postoperative in-hospital days (20.6±11.1 d vs 19.5±12.2 d, P=0.633) were not significantly different between two groups. Univariate analysis showed that preoperative serum albumin level <30 g/L( P<0.001) and pathological type of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma ( P=0.036) were independent risk factors for POPF after PD, while multivariate analysis found no statistically significant risk factors. Conclusions:Octreotide can neither reduce the incidences of POPF, total complications and postoperative mortality, nor shorten postoperative in-hospital days. However, for patients with preoperative hypoproteinemia and (or) the pathological type of pancreatic duct adenocarcinoma, the prophylactic use of octreotide during PD and after PD may reduce the occurrence of POPF.
